popup_list

related attributes

• These attributes are predefined for a list_box or popup_list only:
• • list
  • With this attribute, the initial contents of the popup_list can be specified. To separate between rows, use the newline symbol "\n". To separate between columns use the tab symbol "\t". To change the contents of the popup_list at runtime, use the functions start_list, add_list, end_list.
  • tabs
  • This attribute can be used to control the width of columns. The value of this attribute has to be a string containing a space separated list of integers. For historic reasons these integers are cumulative, it is a list of increasing integers. Every integer adds the width of the next column to the previous cumulative width. So to specify four columns of width 5, use "5 10 15 20". Mind that there will be a fifth column of remaining width, so perhaps the last integer is not wanted.
  • tab_truncate
  • Normally text that is too wide to fit in a column, will be spread across multiple columns and push further any text that appears further in the same row. If this attribute is set to true, text will be restricted to its own column only. Truncated text cannot be revealed.
